Did you know that the US Army Futures Command and the US Air Force have moved a substantial amount of their innovation activities to Austin recently? On the 10/28 Venture Outfitter Weekly we will hear from Drew Scheberle about the emerging defense related innovation ecosystem in Austin, and how tech entrepreneurs can plug into that ecosystem.
